<p align="center"><b>Exporting questions from a Category</b></p>
<p>This function allows you to export a complete category of questions to
a text file. </p>
<p>Please note that in many file formats some information is lost
when the questions are exported. This is because many formats do
not possess all the features that exist in Moodle questions. You should
not expect to export and import questions and for them to be
identical. Also some question types may not export at all.
You are advised to check exported data before using
it in a production environment.</p>
<p>The format(s) currently supported are:</p>
<p><b>GIFT format</b></p>
<ul>
<p>GIFT is the most comprehensive import/export format available for exporting
Moodle quiz questions to a text file. It was designed to be an easy
method for teachers writing questions as a text file. It supports Multiple-Choice,
True-False, Short Answer, Matching and Numerical questions, as well as insertion
of a _____ for the "missing word" format. Note that Cloze questions are not
currently supported. Various question-types can be
mixed in a single text file, and the format also supports line comments, question names,
feedback and percentage-weight grades. Below are some examples:</p>
<pre>
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{~Grant ~Jefferson =no one}
Grant is {~buried =entombed ~living} in Grant's tomb.
Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE}
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=no one =nobody}
When was Ulysses S. Grant born?{#1822}

</ul>
<p><b>Moodle XML format</b></p>
<ul>
<p>This Moodle specific format exports quiz questions in a simple XML format. They
can then be imported into another quiz category or used in some other process such as
an XSLT transformation</p>
</ul>
<p><b>IMS QTI</b></p>
<ul>
<p>Exports in the standard IMS QTI format. Note that this generates a group of files within
a single 'zip' file.</p>
<p align="right"><a href="http://www.imsglobal.org/question/" target="_qti">More information on the IMS QTI site</a>
(external site in new window)</p>
</ul>
<p><b>XHTML</b></p>
<ul>
<p>Exports the category as a single page of 'strict' XHTML. Each question is clearly placed in its own
&lt;div&gt; tag. If you want to use this page as-is, you will need to at least edit the &lt;form&gt; tag at the
start of the &lt;body&gt; section to provide a suitable action (eg, a 'mailto').</p>
</ul>
<p>More formats are yet to come, including WebCT and whatever else
Moodle users can contribute! </p>
